Three Egyptians were among nine civilians wounded in a mortar shell bombing that took place in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi late Wednesday, Egypt's state news agency MENA said.
The civilians suffered shrapnel injuries and were admitted to a local hospital, MENA quoted hospital media official Fadya Al-Barghathy as saying.
Libya plunged into chaos following the 2011 toppling and killing of dictator Muammar Gaddafi and is now torn between two rival governments and a UN-backed unity government.
Benghazi, Libya's second-largest city, has seen some of the worst fighting, with violence spiking when military commander Khalifa Haftar launched a campaign in 2014 against Islamists and other armed groups.
Egypt's foreign ministry has repeatedly called on Egyptian nationals to avoid travelling to Libya due to the unstable security conditions in the war-torn country, urging those living there to stay away from conflict zones.
Last week, six Egyptians were kidnapped by an armed group in the northwest Libyan city of Bani Walid, where 13 Egyptians were killed in a clash with smugglers in April, but were later released and returned to Egypt.
Eight others abducted days later were also released.
